Today was our day of American History and world culture.
Metro into town and straight to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. So much to see, but again we had to keep moving.
Next was a stroll through the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, complete with ice rink, and then the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art. This is one of the most impressive buildings I’ve ever been in. And the art was OK too. Raphael, da Vinci, Van Gough, Renoir, Monet, Degas, and a few other up-and-comers.
The evening was spent at the Kennedy Center, a performing arts centre, watching their free concert. Today’s performance was Pan American Symphony Orchestra from Argentina, performing for the National Argentine Tango Day Celebration. Very cultured of us. And they were amazing!
Dinner at a Thai place in Foggy Bottom then back to do some washing.
